Dam Removal

EMILY ROBSON / THE MORNING CALL

Keith Shay from Flyway Excavating uses an excavator to smooth out the area where the dam was removed. The City of Bethlehem is removing a 50-foot dam in Monocacy Creek to reduce flood frequency in Colonial Industrial Quarter. The dam that was in Johnston Park was removed as part of a stream restoration project. The Dam's removal will also improve the stream's water quality while making an additional 1.6 miles of stream habitat accessible to aquatic organisms.
